When I started Aisle Seat Review almost a decade ago, I wasn’t at all sure how long our run would be. But I was damned determined that we would give it our absolute best. And now, after all this time and over five hundred posts, it’s time to “Turn off the ghost light” and wrap the show.
Across the years, the content we produced is, in my humble opinion of course, as good as almost any on the web. I am particularly proud of the content we produced during COVID. When 99% of theaters in the greater San Francisco Bay Area were closed, we pivoted to interviewing the people who make the Bay Area one of the top five theater destinations in America.
As for me, I left the Bay Area and moved to Spokane, Washington, over four years ago. And yet we continued to produce ASR until this very day. And if I may in a point of personal privilege, that’s because I genuinely love The City by The Bay – and the theater.
I won’t burden you with why we’ve retired from publication.
I will say that ASR had dedicated writers and readers, and I valued almost every one. We had the occasional misfire, as any publication does, but our content stood the test of time.
So, here’s a special “Thank you and Farewell” to all the ASR editorial staff.
Be well. Take good care.
Most Sincerely,
Kris Neely
